This was wonderful hair-pulling fun! It's almost sad that it's the last set of notes. *sniff* Thank you guys for setting this up! And thank you, imprisoned Erudin scholar for sending the pages to us on Norrath! Will we get to see more of him? I'd also like to thank my cats, who helped emensly in the ways that cats do, like stealing my only pencil or re-arranging my papers and drinking the water from my cup and keeping that one Erudin symbol that looks like a dragon from eating my face. Thank you, kitties, you will be rewarded in sunfish.
Fantastic! I was mostly correct in orientation and assembly. Don't suppose I can I have the .psd file for this so I can compare that to mine? I need a picture of that to hang in Boomba's guild hall that thing is rad looking, definitly making this into a mega cool wallpaper. Thanks Cronyn Kiara and Gnorbin for this really awesome puzzle to solve. I especially loved it cause it was in Erud. I have been waiting for Odus to return since the first expansion was on the horizon. As any of my game mates can confirm I have a special fondness for the Erudite's and the history of Paineel which is why Malachi carry's the surname Faratain. Now there is some lore I would like to hear, what happed to Darton and Faratain and their descendants. Awesome Job to all who participated and special thanks to Rune for being a fantastic chronicler. Looking forward to setting foot in Paineel again soon. Oh an yes please on that book Cronyn I will dust off a special spot for it in Boomba Squad's guild hall library. It would be cool if it were written in Erudite as well so only those blessed with the learned tongue can gaze upon the words and understand.
ogre: IN A SI INING HANTED FIND T ECTED puppies: OPULCE OF NO IAL INK THAT CREATE A SPECIAL INK MADE WITH ENC TO FIND WITHIN ANY dwarf -> real name of lore 2 Esteemed scholars, I apologize for my long absence. Unfortunately, I was discovered translating the third set of researchers notes and have been imprisoned for some time. I cannot be certain of my fate, although what happens to me now is of little consequence, for the information I have is invaluable. It details a troubling event involving not only in the history of the erudites, but possibly all of norrath. When the guards caught me I was able to hide away the pieces of the journal I had copied. I knew that I was under suspicion and I copied all of the notes I found onto individual pieces of parchment. During my imprisonment, I have been able to translate the documents where there has been ample light and minimal supervision. Thus I give you now the last piece of the researchers notes. I feel there may be more beyond this (but i) am no longer free to locate them. Consider this as the last. As I translated each page I was able to send the parchment through a (void po)cket as I have done before. However, I have been kept in a weakened state and can no longer fully complete the r(itual) for transference. Therefore I believe the pages are stuck in the final stages of materialization and might not have (made it to) the physical plane. I suspect these partially materialized pages may appear as something akin to a small storm(cloud) of dark energy. I attempted to place them close to the highest concentrations of the populace of Norrath. Search near the larger cities to find them. The pages will appear blank. I wrote them with a special ink that prevents the script from being seen even when held against the light. You will need to create a special wash in order to make the script appear to your eyes. First you must obtain an ink made with enchanted water. As you know this is not hard to come by. This ink you should be able to find within any of the libraries of norrath contained in a simple vial. The ink itself, however, is not enough. You must create a wash by combining the ink with volcanic ash. The chemical properies of the ash will change the enchanted ink into the necessary wash and allow the pages to reveal their words. You can find the ash near any volcano be it active or burned out. Once you have collected the twelve pages and have the ink and ash to hand, purchase a leatherback tome cover from the sages. This will help to preserve the fragile parchment and keep it safe for all to see. Combine these items in the tome cover and you will have completed the notes. I believe this is the last you will hear from me. I am grateful that these notes now have seen the light of norrath and I (was able to pro)vide valuable information to (all the crafte)rs and adventurers of our (homeland. T)ell my friends, may know(ledge be y)our savior in the ti(mes ahe)ad. Kiara, could you give the names of the two missing pieces? Icenia
You guys are absolutely right. Somehow I missed sending these out. I think it's because I was going cross eyed looking at it. *headdesk* At any rate... here they are http://eq2players.station.sony.com/...e/mithaniel.png http://eq2players.station.sony.com/...6/lore/ogre.png http://eq2players.station.sony.com/...06/lore/pie.png http://eq2players.station.sony.com/...ore/puppies.png I swear that it was NOT an evil dark elven scheme to make you guys crazy.

Great work all! Fun to have completed it. Love puzzles. and had a wonderful time working with you. Hope to see you all on the next puzzle. Complied the final version. Will assemble parts later for reference if wanted. Now im going to find this book in game..
Hey all to commemorate the awesome work everyone did I made this wallpaper. I really wish I had a crowd of folks around the easel, but this will have to do. This was a ton of fun. Till next time... http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2795...2be275474_b.jpg
I'm working on a version of the scholar's ring to put in it, but for now, here is a quick painting of the Scholar that I plan on making into a proper wallpaper tomorrow. http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...469806�
Thank you the Dev Team for these fun experiences. And thank you to my fellow players who poured over the glyphs for translation. Our true scholars. I loved it, but it made my head hurt. I'm off to find the pages!

Kithicor Location for ash found in TD at: 2,987.46, 6.43, 1,171.39 Didn't find anything at lavastorm ...

The only reason I haven't responded to this thread yet is because I'm not good at translating, and.. quite frankly, everyone jumped at it like vultures long before I ever could.
